The only problem with this comparison is Phalanx was harmless and these drugs are, at scale, incredibly harmful (with growing evidence that their creators did and continue to do their best to conceal and misdirect evidence of these harms), making it very hard to dismiss as a placebo intended to boost morale.
What the story has is a deadly thing without a cure, so a fake cure is there to create calm.
What we have is a fake pandemic pumped up with statistical manipulation and medical malfeasance in order to push a "cure" that causes disease.
It's funny, in March 2020, I told friends that if this was a really deadly thing, liquor stores wouldn't stay open... People wouldn't still be able to order delivery. Paper masks wouldn't be used as they can't even filter out asbestos which is much much larger than a "virus".
But they laughed then. Had it been really deadly, I would have changed my mind.
I laugh now, and they still can't change their mind.

They think we overcame a deadly virus... Sigh
